This 2009 Ford has 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 39,110 miles. The vehicle's mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, with a significant drop in annual usage after 2020, raising serious concerns about its true condition and maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing a significant drop from 7,653 miles/year (Jan 2020) to 4,641 miles/year (Feb 2024), then further to 4,708 miles/year (Feb 2026), indicating a potential odometer fraud or severe underuse.
Things to check
- Deeply troubled MOT history: 8 failures and 8 passes across 16 tests.
- Recurring major failures in critical systems: lights, suspension, brakes, and tyres.
- Mileage dropped significantly from 7,653 miles/year (Jan 2020) to 4,641 miles/year (Feb 2024).
- Multiple recurring advisories for exhaust, headlamp, and suspension components.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-24, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage of 6,494 miles/year, lower than UK average.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- No recent MOT failures or advisories for the last 2 years (Feb 2025, Feb 2026).
